The problem is it that debian installs all its fonts into a different location 
that X expects, and then makes a symbolic link to the font files.  The latest 
msttcorefonts doesnt create the proper links.

The directories you need to examine are /usr/share/fonts/truetype and 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
